Title.
All other rogue abilities scale with critical strike provided by dagger specialization, Eviscerate does not look to do so.
Is this intended, bug or fluke?
I suspect that because Eviscerate is not based on weapon damage that this could be the issue, however I will point out that you cannot use Eviscerate unless you have a melee weapon in hand.
This kinda gets into the realm of fuzzy logic, but it’s something I noticed when looking over logs.
Thanks!
How do you know this?
Been tracking my crit rates on special abilities.
My base crit is 31% unbuffed this includes the daggers talent.
Eviscerate has been fairly constant over the last week at just under 26%. (unbuffed)
Just make sure that the sample size is big enough. Statistical variance can be at play here.
Absolutely, I’ll continue to log data.
Need to figure out a good way to track long term; going for one month of data so this is a long term project since tracking my own stuff is EZ.
I’m looking over Rogue logs right now, there’s absolutely nothing about Eviscerate that even suggests it has a lower crit rate than intended.
71.4% crit.
100% crit.
Here’s another. 18 casts = 47.1% crit.
Melee swings for this log = 48.3% crit.
Raid logs aren’t going to do a very good job because of all the wacky buffs.
Full buffs and my rogue has some truly absurd crit chains, other times my crit is crap and other times it’s right where it ougt to be.
In raid rogues don’t use a whole ton of Eviscerate because slice needs to be maintained. Usually you only use it maybe 3 or 4 times in a longer boss fight… In MC you may only use it once per fight.
This is why raid logs are kinda bunk for this test.
As a result I have been out in the world where I can get a lot more data because I need more to weed out RNG…
Thus far my auto swings are exactly where is expect them, my backstab is right on par so long as I constantly remove and re-equip my gear.
The removal and equip of gear seems to solve an issue in having with the backstab talent bugging out causing my backstab crit rate to plummet down to a paltry 31%.
I have been testing that as well but it’s likely an old blizzard confirmed bug come back.
